The same place I was where he could ask me the question. One of the four letter words in my life: work.

My girlfriend and I were out and this girl came up to her and asked if she could buy her a drink. My girlfriend, because she wanted to let her know the etiquette of buying drinks, said she was with someone. The woman said,

“I wasn’t hitting on you.”

I got back from pissing, saw my drink, was told the story, looked at the woman and said,

“Yes, she was.”

My girlfriend also has a hard time telling even if it’s a guy. That’s after I told her you’re pretty, so, if they’re talking to you you can count on them not taking a census. I’ve come back so many times only to have the guy say to me, ‘Sorry, dude, didn’t know she was with someone.’

She disagreed so I said,

“The only way you’d be able to tell is if they ran up to you and said, ‘Touch it! Why don’t you touch it!'”

So what is it, guys and gals, how often is it hitting and how often is it you just have the need to part with cash for a stranger?

I don’t know. If I was sitting alone and I saw someone else sitting alone and I wanted to not sit alone anymore I might offer someone a drink, male or female, to strike up a conversation. I wouldn’t want them to get the idea I was hitting on them, so you have that fine line. Plus who wants to drink alone?

I would probably do just as the girlfriend. Explain I’m with someone, they say they aren’t hitting on me, I allow them to buy me a drink. I like free drinks. I’ve been taught that just cuz someone pays for dinner doesn’t mean I get to provide “dessert.” No means no, right?
